Jonny Carroll - Leaving On The Light lyrics

[Verse 1] Well lately, I've been thinking about the person I've been I've been picking up the pieces to a tired winter's end There's a history between your dad and a bottle of gin And it's keeping me sober when I'm missing you again [Verse 2] And I got offered a one night stand I held those digits in my trembling, uncollected hands But the thought of you still lingered even if your body can't I threw away those numbers like you threw away our plans [Chorus] It don't make the pain go away anymore I didn't even see that you were headed for the door So maybe I won't see it and you'll come home tonight I'm staying sober and I'm leaving on the light [Verse 3] I'm miles out and I'm planning to stay But I keep counting down the numbers till I make it to that day When I can finallyl get home and throw all your letters away Just being honest, it's better that way [Chorus] But it don't make the pain go away anymore I didn't even see that you were headed for the door So maybe I won't see it and you'll come home tonight I'm staying sober and I'm leaving on the light I'm staying sober and I'm leaving on the light [Verse 4] The road is longer than I could ever dream I've been trying to remember mostly the good things But there were times I was torn at the seams And the stitches to fix it had to make me bleed Yeah, the stitches to fix it had to make me bleed [Chorus] But it don't make the pain go away anymore I didn't even see that you were headed for the door So maybe I won't see it and you'll come home tonight I'm staying sober and I'm leaving on the light I'm staying sober and I'm leaving on the light I'm staying sober and I'm leaving on the light No, I'm staying sober and I'm not gonna lie I'm staying sober and I'm calling it a night I'm staying sober and I'm wishing you goodbye Wishing you goodbye
